WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.
The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government.

TOTAL SIGNATURES ON THIS PETITION= 30,976

Aren’t these petitions from individual groups and not state legislatures? If it was from state legislatures I can see trouble ahead. I think the fed’s will ignore them.

This is a waste of time. Why help Obama weaken America?

I wonder if my county can secede from the rest of Florida? That alone would work.

Unless the State Legislatures do something, and this condition is something everyone calling themselves a Conservative should know, this means nothing and makes Conservatives look like the loons the media portrays them to be....

This is just stupid!

If a state wants to succeed, they just do it! They don’t go on to a website and do a silly petition.

IF... A petition is to be directed anywhere, it needs to be to state legislators and governors!!

This is NOT states petitioning. The White House has a site where anyone at all can start a petition, and Obama has pledged to look at the ones that get a certain number of signatures.

So I could put up a petition to require that all White House meals be vegan, and if lots and lots of people sign on, Obama looks at it.

These are citizens starting their own petitions and they are not binding on the states.

” As the dust settles in the wake of President Obama’s decisive reelection last Tuesday, the White House petition website has been flooded by a series of secession requests, with malcontents from New Jersey to North Dakota submitting petitions to allow their states to withdraw from the union.”

“decisive reelection”, “malcontents”. No, no bias here.

Include me in!!

With this stolen election, the rule of law is dead and the Constitution lies in tatters and shreds.

I served in the military (please don’t thank me) to protect and preserve the American way of life - but this isn’t waht I served to protect.

IMO, our only hope to preserve the liberties and Freedoms for which America has stood for 200 years is to divorce the blue states and secede.

This is an intelligence operation folks. Don’t sign the petition. You will only be put on A list to be arrested at some point in the future.

What good is petitioning the White Hut? Zero will just laugh out loud at this. Who needs his “permission” anyway?

When our government lists citizens who value the Constitution, quote the Founding Fathers, own guns or hold tightly to their Bibles as possible terrorists, and that same government allows voter fraud to usurp free elections, then signing a petition on the socialist web site is the least we have to worry about at this point.

I signed the one for Texas figuring I was already on someone’s list by virtue of the feds attitude toward what I hold dear.

Any state the really intends to go better be prepared to fight a civil war to win their freedom. Bracka Clause won’t let taxpayers out of his grasp willingly.

IIRC Thomas Jefferson once penned a hot letter protesting something or other and pointed out that His state could just withdraw from the union if they wanted to.

Anybody else remember this? This part timers memory is getting to be a drag, cause I can’t remember the details.

It seems I also recall New England states once talked about it.
